just want to hear some other opinions on the finale, that's all.

I enjoy the show

did you see the final episode?

Yes, I've watched EVERY episode. The first couple of episodes I really didn't care for Marcel but then he started to grow on me. I like the fact that he takes chances and tries to create new dishes and I think his presentation is usually like artwork. So he's not the easiest to get along with, OK!

I was also happy when Cliff was asked to leave the show because he thought EVERYTHING he did was just PERFECT! Well he had an ego larger than Marcel's and I didn't think he was all that.

The last few episodes Elia,Ilan,Sam and Cliff acted like children,NOT professional at all. So they decided to "pick" on Marcel. I think they were actually jealous of his abilities and worried he could win.

Tonights finale was not what I hoped for,as I thought Marcel should have won. I think he was honest about forgetting the fish and owned up to it. He also showed integrity when he said that Sam and him had worked on the concept for the one dish. It was never shown that Sam came up with the idea all by himself. At first Sam and Michael had made some positive comments about Marcel in the kitchen and as soon as a few items went missing they started to put Marcel down. I also think that Marcel should have NEVER asked Micheal to work with him, it should have been Mia. Not only because she said she wanted to work with Marcel,but I think she would have really put everything she had into helping him to the best of her ability. I don't think Micheal did that.

I don't feel Ilan should have won! I think almost every dish he has done has his signature Spanish touch and I'm just sick of that. I think the Top Chef should be adventurous and try to create new dishes that obviously taste good. I don't care if he or she doesn't have the best personality.

Marcel was robbed tonight! I think he's a much better chef than Ilan and the next time I go to Vegas, I'm looking up the restaurant he works at and I'm going to try to have him cook for me.

i really didn't care for Marcel, but he does have skill. i'm thinkin' the judges picked Ilan because of popular opinion. for a minute i was thinkin' that this was gonna be another project runway where the villian won in the end.

but come to think of it, Ilan started getting on my nerves towards the end.

Iron Chef.

not the american version though, I can't stand that. it's not the same without the awful voice dubbing

Man, cookery programmes are so wack.


Making me all hungry aswell. That nigella is "tasty" though. See how lame that was.

Usually too busy in the kitchen cooking or cleaning up. Sometimes I like to watch Emeril.

I liked Cliff. He shouldnt have manhandled Marcel like that though.

i like this show.... i got hooked on it one day i was home sick from work and they showed the first 2 episodes.... i was like hmmmm this is good... since Bravo and TLC are the only commercial channels that i will watch.....

magnificentsynthesizer said:

Me too!

TOP CHEF was so great...I did want to see Sam go all the way though...he was my favorite...Elia made some interesting food too.

I dont know when it happend but at one point I went from loving Ilan/hating Marcel to the other way around....Ilan became such an asshole...and his Spanish cooking was not as creative.

Having said that...I was bummed Marcel lost..i liked the guy in the end.

WHY DID THEY NOT HAVE A REUNION THIS SEASON??!!!!! I was looking forward to that bitchfest. Last season's was bitchier than PROJECT RUNWAYS....

TOP DESIGN was good...dont have a fav yet..but I kind of liked the winning room...weird..different...not cozy though...and I love cozy...

BRAVO is my fav channel!

peace

I found Todd annoying after 5 minutes.

magnificentsynthesizer said:

That was last season's winner.

lazycrockett said:

What about the bitchy queen duo....they cracked me up..could not get along for shit!

Harold...hottie!

VANITYSprisonBYTCH said:

I was thinking the same thing,why no reunion?

Top Design was interesting but not as interesting as Project Runway or Top Chef,well at least not yet. I agree Todd's mechanical voice got on my nerves ater five minutes. Ughh When I saw the items they had to design the room around, I thought the celebrity might be John Waters.

I caught the last 3 episodes of Chef & I think I'll watch it in the future. Though I didn't want Marcel to win & Ilan is cuter, I think Marcel kinda deserved it

Never seen it... hate TV BUT, my daughter got me into watching Hells Kitchen with her.

hopefully, you'll get the chance to catch a season one marathon (if you happen to have 12 hours in a row to spare ). i thought the chefs on that season were a bit better. though, they did have some real characters on this season.

REALLY!!!

i didn't think any of the rooms worked for the challenge. it kinda seemed like most of the designers just designed their dream room. the winning room was cool, though and that other room that the judge called a sophisticated dorm room. i think the designers called it funkadelic meets stanley kubrick or something like that.
